James Harden believes he deserved to win MVP last season
It was a close battle in the NBA’s MVP race last season, but it was Warriors guard Stephen Curry who was ultimately awarded the accolade.
Despite The Beard’s fun with numbers, the honor of the league’s most valuable player went to Stephen Curry. “I believe that. I thought I was previous year, too”, Harden told NBA.com.
“It doesn’t change what happened a year ago”, Curry, who actually took home the hardware, said after Warriors practice.
“I definitely feel a lot better than I felt the last couple of years”, Rush said, adding that he lost weight in the offseason in order to protect his knees.
“I know I was the MVP”, Harden said. They say “there is no “I” in ‘team, ‘” but apparently for Harden, you bet there is.
Despite the feat, the 26-year-old thinks he should have been the National Basketball Association (NBA) MVP in the 2014-15 season after his performance and what the Rockets have achieved. He’ll remain the focal point of the offense, but he won’t have to force the issue like he did previous year and can now focus on becoming a more efficient scorer. Curry won the MVP.
“I am the best player in the league”.
James Harden has been on the headlines lately mostly because of his ridiculously but profitable deal with Adidas that is testament to the new heights he is in ever since bolting the Oklahoma City Thunder and joining the Houston Rockets back in 2012. The Rockets made 12 of 37 3-pointers, shot 43 percent, produced 24 assists and cut down on the number of turnovers from 18 against the Grizzlies to 14 against the Mavericks.
Lee scored 13 points and had seven rebounds and three assists against Olimpia Milano.
We were facing most of the Rockets starters and even still had moments where we looked like our bench could be a real area of production, usually hidden between times of ineptitude. In his career, he has averaged 27 points per game, and he has the capability to reach over 30 on average as he has done before.
Mavericks rookie Maurice Ndour annoyed Harden by guarding him a bit too aggressively in the second quarter and paid for it when the superstar swished a 3-pointer and yelled “boom” at him.
Writers and experts had discussed and compared the two candidates for months before the voting ended and statistically it was pretty even. Every year the MVP is interpreted in two different ways: the literal description and the “best player on best team” logic.
